me D1BpaTchB S6uB1U4Ven68S-
Our readers viii remember that last
week we mentioned the suspension Of
the Minneapolis Messenger and two or
three other Kansas and Nebraska news
papers because they, tried TO occupy
fields already full, and were endeavor-
ing to print papers too large, and in too
expensive a style for the patronage ac-
corded them. It would seem that our
neighbor. the Dispatch, thought the
HERALD had some reference to it, and
comes out this week with its feathers all
rufled up and pouts, and intimates
that we had better let it alone, that it
can attend to its own business, sc.
Why bless their dear souls, who would
have suspected that our contemporary
would have taken our general remarks
on newspapers In Kansas and Nebras-
ka, as personal filings at them. The
Dispatch says it is booming and that
it is going right on till it starts a daily.
As to its subscription list it says:
lite not every week the DISPATCH has the space
devote 4lHl Oh 4LH new EAu-ILlu-
e--i- and only does 80 wheli d ms inc space To
spare without crJwdiug cut items Of news.
Wen, that is prosperity and no mis-
take. Subscribers rushing in so fast
that it has not space in a 81 column all
printed-at-home-paper, IN which to
copy their names, though in ordinary
type at least 800 names could be put in
a column. Say boys isn't that putting
il on "a leetle too thick". Now if we
thought our neighbors would not ''get
hot'' we would tell the public how some
publishers blow about printing their
paper all at home, when iD fact they
buy or rent what is known as electro
plates, which are sent out from the fac
tory in boxes and used by the local pa
pers and returned. 1t is just about the
same thing as using what is known as
"a ''patent - such as the HERALD uses.
In Doth cases the type is set in the city
and not in the local offices. But our
neighbors had no cause for sharing up
because of our article last week, and
we are not inclined to 'ruflle up its
feathers this week, but as it was the
first to be slightly personal we feel JUS
tihed in saying, that after Il years ex-
perience in publishing a newspaper, we
have discovered that it requires some
thing more than wind to run one.
(Now this remark does not necessarily
have reference to the Dispatch.) If
the Dispatch is honestly prospecting so
that it contemplates starting a daily;
if it should be printed all at home /;
(and stop using those plates) if new
subscribers are actually rushing in so
rapidly that they have not space in
which to print their names If its man
ayers are telling the sober truth and are
not "spoutiug," then the old, stand,
solid HERALD, the official paper of the
county, cOngratulates its enterprising,
young and unprecedentedly brilliant
and prosperous contemporary, and
wishes it good speed.
